Profile:
Nigel Haig was a top-class all-round sportsman, excelling in tennis,
racquets, squash, and golf, apart from his prowess on the cricket field. A
tall, wiry man, he was an all-rounder who played for Middlesex from 1912 to
1934, captaining them for the last six years. He was possibly a better
bowler than bat, bowling fast-medium and capable of long spells. With the
bat he was unorthodox, relying on a good eye rather than technique, but he
could hit surprisingly hard, and was a quite magnificent fielder. Haig
achieved the double in 1921 as an important member of Middlesex's
championship winning side, and repeated the feat in 1927 and 1929. He played
one Test against the 1921 Australians, and later toured the West Indies in
1929-30, but
generally was not impressive at the highest level. He lost four crucial
years to the First World War, where he served with
distinction, earning the MC. He was a nephew of Lord Harris (DL 2000).
